I remember Cousin Teddy being one of my best first sparring partners. As a 15 yr old he played rough but still considered he was playing with a 4 yr old boy. I remember the day he came home from boot camp. He was wearing a beret because he was airborne but he wasn't the boy I remembered. As an adult, I now know, he became a man and training for war changed my buddy. Later, I bought my first car from him. A 1972 Chevelle he and my dad had rebuilt the motor on. I was 14. What a cool first car. Then we worked on hot rods together with my dad. I will always remember his laugh. It was a tickled kind of laugh. He had a personality of extremes. He was completely happy, completely sad, completely pissed and totally missed.
